Hi,
Unfortunately I had to drop off the call because of another
commitment, but I am happy these two passed and add my voice,
retroactively, endorsing them.

3. Procedural motion to vote on whether to vote on the Proposed
===============================================================
Resolution from Ross Rader:
============================
The recommendations of the LSE regarding term limits for GNSO
Council members should be adopted immediately by the GNSO Council
with no grandfathering except in connection with the ability of a
council member to serve out their existing term. A council member
can serve no more than two consecutive terms (regardless of
duration). Moreover, a former
council member must remain off the GNSO Council for one full term
prior to serving any subsequent term. However, there shall be an
exception to the two term limit in connection with special
circumstances (I.e. Geographic diversity requirements) where a
constituency is unable to find an alternative representative to
serve. In applying this special
circumstance exception, the existence of an otherwise qualified
candidate willing to serve on the council within that constituency
shall constitute a non-rebuttable indication that special
circumstances do not exist. The GNSO Council will forward this
recommendation to the ICANN Board of Directors for implementation
in the bylaws and also recommend
to the GNSO Constituencies that they voluntarily adopt these
practices until such time that they have been formally implemented
by the Council and Board.
The motion carried with 13 votes in favour:
Lucy Nichols, (IPC) Robin Gross, Norbert Klein, (NCUC) Ross Rader,
Tom Keller, (2 votes each - Registrars constituency) Cary Karp, Ken
Stubbs, June Seo, (2 votes each - gTLD Registries constituency)
7 votes against:
Marilyn Cade, Phillip Sheppard, Alistair Dixon, (CBUC) Tony Holmes,
Tony Harris, Greg Ruth, (ISPCPC) Maureen Cubberley
2 votes abstaining:
Bruce Tonkin GNSO chair Registrars constituency abstained (2 votes)
5 votes not recorded:
Avri Doria, Ute Decker, Mawaki Chango did not vote, (dropped off call)
Kiyoshi Tsuru and Sophia Bekele no vote, absent.
Total 27 votes
